The bill amends section 50-29-04 of the North Dakota Century Code, which pertains to the children's health insurance program. The key change in the bill is the adjustment of the modified adjusted gross income eligibility limit for the program, which has been increased from two hundred tentwo to hundred five percent of the poverty line. This change aims to expand access to health insurance for children in North Dakota by raising the income threshold for eligibility. Additionally, the bill maintains provisions for establishing current eligibility from the first day of the month in which an application is received, as well as allowing for retroactive eligibility for the three calendar months preceding the application month, provided that all eligibility factors are met during those months. This ensures that families can receive coverage even if they apply after the month in which they became eligible.
